Attribute drop-down not working

[Netgirl]

Hi!

I have set up a product attribute with a drop-down of 3 choices. For some reason the choices are appearing outside of the text box.

Can anyone help before I rip out all my hair??

Look in Act_VariantListHeader.html and you'll probably see that someone has added an unwanted "</select>" tag with total disregard for your hair.

The file should look like:-

<!-- VariantListHeader HTML begin -->
<!-- This template is used for a product variant list box header. -->

<SELECT NAME="NETQUOTEVAR:ATTRIBUTEREF">

<!-- This template is used for a product variant list box header. -->
<!-- VariantListHeader HTML end -->

Unfortunately there were not any unwanted <SELECT> tags. The code is as you posted.

Just off to purchase a wig.....

Wierd. Here's the relevant bit of generated code from your page source

<SELECT NAME="v_21_1"></select><OPTION VALUE=1 SELECTED>red<BR><OPTION VALUE=2 >blue<BR><OPTION VALUE=3 >yellow<BR></SELECT>

You can see it right in there - the lower case "</select>" just shouldn't be there. As far as I can see it can only be coming from Act_VariantListHeader.html.

Try creating another product with a drop down list and see what happens to that.

Have you a customised product template? If so post it so we can see if its crept in there.

Created a new product with drop-down

[URL=http://www.thecakegallerydirect.co.uk/acatalog/Decorations___Edible.html]

and the <SELECT NAME="v_**"></select> is still appearing.

- radio buttons work fine
- tried using different product layout templates and it still appears

Attached Act_ProductLineTable.html

Thanks for all you help!

Could you post Act_VariantListHeader.html, Act_VarianListChoice.html and Act_VariantListFooter.html. They're all tiny so just paste them, one after the other, into a message - no need for an attachment.

As requested:-

<!-- VariantListHeader HTML begin -->
<!-- This template is used for a product variant list box header. -->
<SELECT NAME="NETQUOTEVAR:ATTRIBUTEREF">
<!-- This template is used for a product variant list box header. -->
<!-- VariantListHeader HTML end --></select>


<!-- VariantListChoice HTML begin -->
<!-- This template is used for a product variant list box choice. -->
<OPTION VALUE=NETQUOTEVAR:CHOICESELVALUE NETQUOTEVAR:ITEMSELECTED>NETQUOTEVAR:CHOICENAME
<!-- This template is used for a product variant list box choice. -->
<!-- VariantListChoice HTML end -->


<!-- VariantListFooter HTML begin -->
<!-- This template is used for a product variant list box footer. -->



<!-- This template is used for a product variant list box footer. -->
<!-- VariantListFooter HTML end -->


Thought it looked like someone who is wondering where their hair is!

[NormanRouxel]

There it is. Tucked in right at the end of Act_VariantListHeader.html just like I first suggested. Just delete that </select> fragment and you'll be instantly cured of hair tear!

Surprise surprise its now functioning. How frustrating for you - sorry for being such a pain! Been looking at too much code and not reading things properly! I suppose I must have just thought it was just closing off the tag.

Thank you for all the time you have put into this! Think I deserve the hair tear!
